Intervertebral disc stenosis of neural canal of thoracic region

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Narrowing of the nerve channel in the mid-back caused by a bulging or degenerating thoracic disc, which may cause mid-back pain or chest symptoms.

Coding Tips

  • •Thoracic stenosis is less common than cervical or lumbar; verify location carefully
  • •Document any associated thoracic radiculopathy or myelopathy symptoms
